About Pamela bryson

Hello, I am a busy mother of 4 kids . We have had the house since the birth of my youngest, now 14 years . It was used every weekend and all holidays for years but now the children are busy with sport, drama and university.The house was lying empty far too often and it was sad, both for me and the house itself. I decided to rent it out as we have had such happy times there. The house copes well with big families. There is loads to see and do in the area. I wanted to share it with other people. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Pamela bryson purchased this in 1998

Why Pamela bryson chose Thorpeness

I like this location because it is not far from home and we can use it even for day trips. I am Australian and I wanted my children to have constant contact with the sea. Thorpeness is wonderful because it is uncrowded and old fashioned . It makes me feel like I have arrived on holiday every time I drive into it. The same people return year after year and this replicates the holidays of my childhood. We had a beach house not far from Syney and we saw the same people year after year. Friendships grew based on this sporadic contact and I wanted this for my children and it has worked.

What makes this unique

Everyone is very safe, even little children. The house is across the road from the Country Club and the kids just wander in and out from the house to the club. All of mine have grown up on those tennis courts and I can see where they are just looking out the kitchen window. They meet other children that way and play a lot of tennis.They spend a lot of time rowing on the Meare having picnics and filling in the day.My eldest likes to have dinner parties on the veranda .My son and husband like to golf in a ramshackle way around the golf course. My husband loves sea fishing and so everyday when he can spare the time he is on the beach casting out his line.Everyone gads about on their bikes. In summer we particularly like to go to the Jill Freud play season.

Guestbook comments from the owner

Location location location – Brambletye is the most wonderful house to stay in. It is in the best location possible, near to the Country Club, off the main road and a short walk away from the beach and the pub! We have stayed here for ten years and have loved every second of it. The house is beautifully decorated, is full of character and has a real feel of “the seaside”. We couldn’t recommend it more highly. Antonia Previte.

Fantastic Holiday Home

Wonderful seaside feeling throughout the house with everything you need to make your holiday perfect and only a few minutes from the local shop, the Meare and the beach.I have stayed here by myself and still felt at home, only one drawback- you have to leave!

Amazing house!

11 of us of mixed ages spent a birthday weekend here, it was our second visit. Pamelas house is unique in a unique setting. House is very comfortable and spacious, everything you could possibly need is provided, and a lovely fire for the colder months. Super walk along the beach to Aldeburgh, grab some fish and chips or buy wonderful seafood from the many beach huts. All in all a perfect VERY English retreat.............but don`t tell everyone!

Lovely property in fantastic area!

We went for a week with grandparents and our three children 9,8 and 3. We all had a fantastic time and would love to go back. The property is in a lovely quiet location very near the beach. Perfect holiday!!!

Property was very individual,well presented and very well equipped. An ideal location for a good tim

Property was very individual,well presented and very well equipped. An ideal location for a good time. Bedrooms were a great size and the playroom worked well for both children and adults. House was a short walk from sea and only a stone's throw from the local pub where we enjoyed a great afternoon at the fete. Everyone was very warm and welcoming. The walk to Aldeburgh is well worth it with fish and chips as a reward!

Fun time house

Stayed for the weekend to attend a wedding with all the family, we arrived at the house and instantly felt on holiday, the place is massive and had everything you could ever need. The location is superb.

So pleased with the house we booked while their for Christmas.

Pam is a great host and kept in contact really well and was there to help with anything you needed.

A great house in a great area

The house was really well equipped - we found everything we needed. Thorpeness is a lovely village and there's plenty of opportunity for people of all ages to unwind, be as active or inactive as they want to be, and enjoy the surroundings. It's an ideal place for groups - family or friends to meet up, especially those where people will sometimes want or need their own space to their own thing, or want to move at different speeds !

A beautiful & spacious well positioned house

This is a wonderful house with enough space to bring three families with kids together in. There are three large double bedrooms with two further bedrooms for kids - one of which we have slept 6 in with ease. There are two lounges, a well equipped kitchen & a dining room. Two bathrooms mean no queues for the loo! The house is clean & well equipped & Pamela is attentive to ideas for improvement which we can testify to as we have rented the property each of the last four years. The property is well positioned in the heart of Thorpeness; a short stroll to the beach & just round the corner from the fantastic dolphin pub & village shop. To the north & south there are great coastal walks. We will be back!
